Toilet paper wedding dress

Behold, the prizewinning toilet-paper wedding dress, conceived of, designed, and modelled by Vicky Heir of Christchurch, NZ.

Expo manager Peta-Marie McLeod said the designers were allowed to use two four-packs of the double length Cottonsofts toilet tissue -- about 16 normal rolls -- to make their dresses.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I think it’s brilliant; useful for the wedding night. Easy access and clean up all in one.

This is not really new. When Cotonelle changed their name in Canada (is Cashmere now for Canada) they came up with a competition that could have been part of “Project Runway”: they organized a contest between fashion students from Toronto and Montreal challenging them to create original garments using their product, Cashmere Toilet Paper.

You can see here some of the finalists as well as the ad for the contest and their tv ad.
